TagHighlight

TagHighlight is a plugin that highlights names of classes, variables, types etc in source code in Vim. This makes it quicker and easier to spot errors in your code. By using exuberant ctags and parsing the output, the typedefs, #defines, enumerated names etc are all clearly highlighted in different colours. As standard, it supports the following languages (but it's very easy to add more):

C/C++ (most of the testing has been with these)

C#

Java

Javascript

Matlab (functions only; may require custom ctags version)

Perl

PHP

Python

Ruby

Scala

Fortran

Go (if your version of ctags supports it)

VHDL (if your version of ctags supports it)

Adding more languages is extremely simple.

To show the benefit of this plugin, there are some screenshots and a more detailed description at the following website:
